Recycle store’s constant battle

Bullerfest returns Murchison’s Daan Jimmink competes in the kayak slalom on day two of the Buller Festival. For more photos of the event visit www.waimeaweekly.co.nz. Photo: Phillip Rollo. Phillip Rollo It all started when a group of Canterbury kayakers took to the Owen River for a weekend paddle. But the Buller Festival is now one of the largest white water events in the country, and it once again showed exactly why paddlers descend from around New Zealand to experience the adrenaline rush that local rivers can offer. Speaking at the conclusion of the three day event held just outside

of Murchison, organiser Ben Jackson says the Buller Festival made a successful return after a two year break. “The area is such a fantastic resource and it really lends itself to a lot of different events in a very small area,” he says. “It really is what it is because of where it is. It started off with a casual weekend and it gradually became an event and has now evolved into what we saw on the weekend.” The turnout was down this year compared to when it was last

held, but the skill set shown from the competitors was at an all time high, says Ben. A lot of the competitors come from Motueka and Nelson, with a good serving of Murchison kayakers, which includes Murchison Area School students. There were also paddlers from Central Otago, Auckland, Rotorua, Wellington, Hawke’s Bay and all through New Zealand. “We’ve had up to 160 competitors SEE PAGE 8

Regular customers are getting away with theft at the Revive Reuse Shop because the money they spend outweighs the cost of the items being stolen. After-hour rubbish dumping and stolen property has marred the second hand store at the recycling centre every day for the past 15 years and its manager wonders if the constant offending will ever end, saying it is very difficult to prove who is a shoplifter despite surveillance cameras indentifying them. Manager Saul U-ren first raised concerns with facility operator Kahurangi Trust 12 years ago, but the nature of the industry means the thefts are constant, he says. “We are planning on doing more and we’ve had meetings with the council who are planning on putting street lights in any day now which will make a huge difference,” he says. “Not much can be done. The only way you can get around it is by staffing more, which is our

biggest problem because we’re short staffed.” The centre makes money by selling off used items that are able to be reused or recycled. There is a free area which is emptied every day. He acknowledged that the general public was probably oblivious to the fact such constant offending was going on within their community. “A lot of people don’t know. Because we’re a recycle centre you don’t get much cheaper, which is actually what we like to say. We are here for those very people, and they will shoplift from you one day and shop off us the next.” Saul says they rely so heavily on the business of regular customers, even if some of them are thieves. “The amount of money they SEE PAGE 2

“I think it’s ridiculous. No matter how much alcohol is consumed you shouldn’t be drinking and driving.”

“That doesn’t make sense.You shouldn’t be drinking and driving at the same time, end of story.”

“If you’re under the limit what is the big deal?”

give us is absolutely crucial. Sometimes their custom is worth more than us actually confronting them. I know this is a nuts concept but we have to go with it.” He says the after-hour dumpings of rubbish are the biggest cost because of the time it takes to clean up. The illegal dumping occurs once every three days. “It ranges from absolute rubbish to items that should be reused but they’re not. People just don’t want to pay the dumping costs.” Record player needles are the most popular item for shoplifters, he says. “They’re generally worth $70 and a $100 so they’ll steal the needle, come back and say they’ll buy the record player but because it hasn’t got the needle

But this went on for months and they took a big colour TV that took three of them to lift. Those particular guys will take anything.” The latest item to be stolen was a 300kg

planter box, donated by Plankville employee Jay Durrant after smaller ones were being taken in the night. The thieves were caught on the surveillance camera bagging up the dirt, which was also stolen. “They took the bags of dirt and the planter and put it in the back of their car,” says Jay. “If there is no one there, people help themselves. The small ones were too easy to take so that’s why I made the big heavy one.” Saul refused to believe that shoplifters took the items because they could not afford them. “They can afford the p they put in their pipe and the tobacco they put in the mouth and the alcohol they drink every night, the speeding tickets, the repossession tickets, they can afford all of that. That is just a weak excuse for taking no responsibility.”

Early education attendance high

drapes blinds wallpaper paint carpet vinyl in-home colour design

Nicola Gear Richmond

Phillip Rollo

National MP Nick Smith has praised the region for its high early childhood education rate, just days prior to the opening of a new academy classroom at a Richmond preschool. In Nelson, 99.3 per cent of children starting school have attended early childhood education, which is the highest participation rate in the country. Tasman had a rating of 97.3 per cent, which is also above the national average of 95 per cent. Nick welcomed the figures, saying children receiving early childhood education do better in life. “This is one of the greatest investments we can make in the future of our children,” he says. “Children are able to pick up on their school education more quickly, giving them a head start.” Nick says the Government was also well aware that its new unit standards for primary school were being better meet by children that had gone through early education. “As part of improving those results, we are pushing hard to increase participation in early childhood education.” His points were backed up by Ant Holder of Paula’s Preschool, who officially unveiled the Richmond Academy and its new classroom on Monday morning. The academy is designed for four year olds, giving them an earlier taste of education, better preparing them for primary school. “It’s almost vital these days. With unit standards and the expectations on children once they reach primary school, if they can get a sound base of literacy and numeracy before they get there, then they

Nick says one of National’s priorities this term is delivering better public services and it has set a target of 98 per cent of children starting school will have participated in quality early childhood education in 2016.

Hop growers start harvest Phillip Rollo Wai-iti grower Peter Lines will harvest 23 tonne of hops over the next few weeks – a figure dramatically higher than what it was ten years ago. The Totara Brewing Company shareholder says the hop market has been hugely fluctuating over the years but the outlook was positive for the current season. Like each hop grower in Nelson and Tasman, Peter is part of the NZ Hops cooperative, which exports 97 per cent of its product overseas. He says a broadened customer base and the craft brewing revolution around the world is the reason for a positive approach

is the success of the co-operative, he says. “We all work together for sure. We’ve got pretty good relationships because we’re obliged to fill the contracts. If I’m short in something I’ll go to a bloke who has grown more than what his contract says.” While there was a tiny amount of hops that could go into cosmetics, Peter was certain almost all of it would go towards the beer industry. Once the hops are harvested, most growers would then turn their focus to garden maintenance. Because Peter grows grapes and farms sheep, he “keeps busy” all year round. “Hops is number one in labour and income,” he says.

Driving with beer is legal Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz A local couple say they were shocked when told by Nelson police that there was nothing wrong with a man drinking from a bottle of beer while driving. The couple say they were leaving a local supermarket when they noticed a man getting into the driver’s seat of a car with an open bottle of beer. One of the concerned citizens approached the man and told him what he was doing was illegal and that he would call the police if he didn’t stop. They say the man drove off laughing, ignoring their pleas. But the couple, who didn’t want to be named, were stunned when told by Nelson police that it wasn’t illegal to drink and drive, only if the driver was over the legal limit and they weren’t interested in the car information they had collected. Tasman District road policing manager, Inspector Jenni Richardson says under the law it is not illegal for a driver over 20 years of age to drink while driving a motor vehicle, provided they do not exceed the legal limit. But drivers under 20 years of age must adhere to a zero alcohol limit. “While it is not illegal, police do not encourage people to drink alcohol while driving and they would certainly stop them and check their alcohol consumption,” she says. She says if any other road users have concerns about the behaviour of a driver they should get the vehicle’s registration details and call police immediately, not wait until they get home as it’s often too difficult to try and track them down after a time delay. The couple say they can’t believe the law allows people to drink while they drive and say the man was driving at around 3pm, when school children were making their way home. “I hope I do not read in the paper tomorrow of a poor child, or another innocent driver being hurt [because of this].”

Wednesday 27 February: Stallholders wanting to take part in the Sprig & Fern Summer Fare will have to get in quick. Richmond Unlimited manager Kim Quint says they now have more than 23 food, drink and wine stalls confirmed for the event to be held on Friday March 22. She says there are still a few remaining spots for local gourmet fare to fill. Wednesday 20 February: Two dogs that are up for adoption from the Nelson Ark are on their way to finding a new home after a story that ran in the Waimea Weekly. Ellie, a 10-month old lab-huntaway mix and Cefi, a three-year old terrier-collie mix have had potential owners enquire. Both have had people call to find out more and as of today, both have had visits from interested families. Wednesday 20 February: Local Waimea College student Fred Gordon is no closer to finding out who is responsible for the hit and run that left his first car almost written off two weeks ago, but after reading about Fred’s plight in the Waimea Weekly, Richmond Motor Bodies Ltd came forward and offered to help him out with getting the car fixed by giving him a generous discount. Fred’s car is now fixed and back on the road. Wednesday 20 February: After record numbers flocked to the Dovedale Fair two weeks ago, organisers have confirmed there were over 2000 people who supported the event. A count up of donations from the gate, raffle tickets and stallholders show over $4000 was raised for the community. The local PTA and other groups will benefit from the funds.

Croucher St part of speed limit reduction A council review of speed limits in the Tasman District has gone out for public consultation with another addition to the list of changes. The Sundial Square end of Croucher St will be reduced from 50km/h to just 30km/h, the same alteration intended for the CBD stretch of Queen St. The council reviews its speed limit bylaw every ten years and its recommendations, authored by transportation projects engineer Steve Elkington, are currently out for public consultation, with submissions being welcomed before March 25. The council say that while the Sundial Square end of Croucher St is not a whole street, it is still

an important through-route in Richmond. In a press release sent out last week, it stated that it is almost impossible to attain a speed of 50km/h in that area without great risk to people and vehicles. Even so, the changes will provide a legal basis to promote safe driving, it added. “With the proposed decrease in speed limit from 50 to 30km/h for Queen St, it is obvious for Croucher St between Queen St and McGlashen Ave to be seen in the same light. The needs are the same if not more important in an area that is focused on pedestrian traffic.” For further information please refer to the last Newsline with a cover date of March 1 or online at www.tasman.govt.nz.

Redwood Hall turns 125

The Redwood Valley community is throwing a celebratory market and dinner for the public hall’s 125th birthday this Saturday. The hall, which was the hub for community events, was also a school for the local children in 1930, until a second school was built across the road because the original one was not seeing enough sunlight during the day. Robert Maisey went to the school there in 1930 and 1931. He notes many changes to the building more than 80 years on. “It was a lot smaller back then,” he says. “It was probably just quarter of the size it is now.” He was one of 20 students at the school, which was a satellite to Appleby School. Robert says the hall, which is now owned by the Redwood Valley Social Society, was mainly used for church services although there were weddings, 21st birthdays and other public events held throughout the years. Private functions are still being held there today, although its most notable event is the regular country

anniversary includes a Victorian market, which begins from 9am on the Saturday. There will be live entertainment as well as market stalls. In the evening there will be a pot luck dinner for the residents with close connections to the hall. Jacqui says there are still spots open for stall holders, who can visit www.red woodvalleyhall.co.nz for further details.

market put on by a group of residents. One of those, Jacqui Pestell, says the market was created to get more people through the doors of such a historic building. “It’s not used as nearly as much as it used to be. They used to have card games and dances, where now that doesn’t tend to happen anymore.” Jacqui was hoping people that had parties and events at the hall would return for its 125th celebration. “We’ve got a lady coming$318 + GST—in both Waimea Weekly and Nelson Robert Weekly Maisey visits the Redwood Valley Hall that had her 21st here.

Whilst I sympathise with Gemma, unfortunately this procedure has to happen. The industry has to make every attempt to get fake ID’s – and people who are using other people’s ID’s

– out of circulation. The bars are simply meeting their legal obligations to establish a reasonable system of control over the sale of alcohol. Gemma does look quite different and it might be wise for her to get some ID which has a more up to date photo (for $20 she could invest in a HANZ 18+ card which she can apply for at any post office). The bars are working very hard to meet their host responsibilities and if the staff are in any doubt they should not serve or allow entry to the venue. Young people need to understand the Nelson hospitality industry wants them to come out and have a good time in a safe environment, but, if they are under 18 they will be sent home.

Table turns heads at boat show

Peter Thwaites, a Blenheim furniture maker, stunned the large crowd at the 14th New Zealand Antique and Classic Boat Show at Lake Rotoiti over the weekend when he unveiled his converted tableboat and then took it for a spin in the Seagull race. Photos: Phillip Rollo.

They came to see finely crafted skiffs, beautifully restored steam boats, classic runabouts and jet boats in their original condition – but no one, not even the organisers expected to see a dining table mounted with an outboard motor. Peter Thwaites, a Blenheim furniture maker, stunned the large crowd at the 14th New Zealand Antique and Classic Boat Show at Lake Rotoiti over the weekend when he unveiled his converted table-boat and then took it for a spin in the Seagull race. Peter says the idea was a “moment of weakness” and came years after seeing a similar concept on the internet. “We decided to do something a bit crazy. That’s how it started and it evolved from there, adding more horsepower until it got really dodgy. It’s a classic design from centuries ago – it’s a table.” He says he copped a lot of flack from his friends who didn’t even think it would float. “Not only did it float but it floated with an outboard motor and someone on it. It went like a rocket but the first time we just had the table top on it, now it has a bit more buoyancy. A self-draining gadget that “half works” was the difference between the table floating and sinking at the bottom of the lake. Peter, who owns a classic Seagull motor, says he was stoked with the feedback from the table. “We never really intended to bring it

up here but it just worked so well. We had a 15 horsepower motor but that might have made a real spectacle so we just went for six horsepower this weekend.” He hadn’t attempted to fit two people on the table-boat as yet, for worry that it might sink. “We’ve come close to sinking it. A few of those waves were coming over the bow.” The future of the vessel was uncertain, although it was purpose built and made to be ridden on the water. “You can have your dinner on it, flick it over and off you go. We did actually have dinner on it before, with a tablecloth of course. It was built as a table obviously but more as a boat.” Boat show organiser Peter Rainey says it was another fantastic weekend of stunning weather and boats. “It was a very diverse group of boats with real integrity in each category,” he says. “It’s always impressive to see the passion that people pour into their boats, and the enjoyment they get from meeting like-minded enthusiasts.” The Jens Hansen Cup for best vessel overall going to Chris Craft Custom 20ft powerboat Blondie, built in 1948 and restored in 2000. Owner Bruce Judge of Lower Hutt says the boat spent most of her life on the lakes north of New York, and was imported to New Zealand in 2011. This model of Chris Craft is now very rare.

Get ready for the return of one of Nelson Speedway Association’s must attend events. For the last few years the Brian Stanaway Roading Stock Shock has been an iconic speedway event on the calendar of not only Nelson’s best drivers but many of the top Stockcar drivers from around the country. Last year’s two day event saw some

incredible performances from those racing, and this year, the decision to combine the events over one day of carnage will see racers and spectators enjoy a fast paced and action packed show. The Stock Shock has a reputation for producing some of the hardest and most competitive racing in this class outside of a team’s event and already the excitement is build-

With this kind of competition lined up

it’s going to be a tough, close competition to call with each a favourite to move further up in the podium and take out the number one spot. The Ministock Mania championship for Youth Ministocks will be held during the event also. This is a highly contested event for youth drivers and one that is run over a points system. While the class is essentially designed as a training class rather than a competitive class the format

Gr wing Things

With Robyn Hollis

Welcome to autumn folks and just about the only way we can tell it’s here at present is the slight chill and a little dew on the grass in the early mornings. The day temperatures are still high and it is a very different garden environment when compared with last season. We have had them stuffed, stir fried, in ratatouille, used them in fritters, cakes and muffins (great with a bit of chilli and feta in a savoury mix), sliced thinly and tossed with olive oil, garlic and lemon juice and thrown on the BBQ plate – possibly our favourite way – and just yesterday I gave in and made a chutney from a very old recipe book from two escaping ones that turned into small marrows! Yes, of course I am talking about zucchini or courgettes (depending on what school you went to or how old you are…) They have to be the most prolific of vegetables, just seem to go on and on. I swear the neighbours hide when they see me coming up the path “OH No, not more zucchinis!” Even the “golden girls” have had enough so I guess the compost gets them. I really feel that if I dish them up again, however well hidden, Johnno-who is a very patient and easy-going man will possibly break down! If anyone out there is having a similar experience and would like the chutney recipe

using this method and began using it on his farm. Jess Roburgh in the book Back Then – threads from Motueka’s Past, credits Daniel Drummond for the introduction of this system in the 1890’s and comments that it took some time to catch on. The new method was easier to harvest by a stringer, who cut the hops near the wire with the hop cat or sickle lashed to the top of a long pole, but heavy rain or strong winds near the time of harvest could cause disaster if wires broke or poles collapsed. Until the early sixties there were up to 60 gardens in the district. Today there are just 17. Picking was labour intensive by hand into hessian bins, usually by women and older children. It was a great social occasion. In a large garden there could be up to 80 workers. Pickers were paid by the bushel (a dry volume measure equal to 36.37litres) and it was possible to pick 85 bushels a day, although the average was about 40. Payment ranged from two pence per bushel to one shilling in later years. Workers came from all over the country, and would live in tents, old houses or batches on the farms. It was a great end of summer work-

March 1 is a significant date in the Nelson district because it heralds the beginning of the hop harvest. The hot, dry summer has ripened the flower cones of Humulus lupulus that have been used for the flavour and bitterness in beer for at least 1000 years. Hops were grown here from the earliest years of settlement. Many of the 1842 English immigrants came from the southern counties including Kent, the centre of the industry. At first they trained the hops on poles – just as they had done at home, here using manuka and totara stakes. The hops were planted between two poles and three bines were trained around each pole. At harvest time the poles had to be lifted by a hop dog and later repositioned. There are two contenders for the development of the post and wire system which eventually became the standard for the district. George Higgins, son of Sarah and Sydney at Mt. Heslington, is said to have seen a photo of a Californian hop garden

It was hot, scratchy work but the smell of the hops, the camaraderie of the pickers, the gossip with those at the bins nearby, and just being outside in the clear, sunny air created an unforgettable experience which many happily repeated year after year. All this became history with the com-

ing of the picking machines in the 60s. Acknowledgements: Cider Hops and Fossils by R.J. Tuckett Back Then, – threads from Motueka’s Past, ed.

Newcomer gets the nod

Phillip Rollo

Richmond Athletic has announced a new coach for the upcoming season with South African born Marc Evans replacing the departing Matt Campbell, who is heading to the UK for the next 12 months. Marc is reasonably new to the region having moved here just over two years ago. While his knowledge of the local football scene is minimal, he hopes to get up to speed over the next few weeks and will be arranging some pre-season fixtures to help introduce himself to the opposition. Marc’s CV includes an amateur playing career spanning 40 years, playing one level below a full-time professional competition. He coached junior grades in South Africa prior to moving to Cambridge in the North Island, then to Nelson. He has also participated in many other activities from water sports to rugby, golf, snooker and squash. Speaking at training on Thursday night, Marc says he applied for the role to give something back to the game he loves. “I’ve been in it a long time and it is my first choice game,” the selfconfessed ‘Liverpool man’ says. “I’m hoping to bring a fresh approach.” Matt will remain in order to ensure a smooth transition, assisting Marc before he leaves. Matt’s brother Michael, who was captain last year, is also back and Marc believes his experience will be vital to the young side. “He looks like an important player to the outfit from what I’ve seen and I will get information and the best out of him. Obviously if I knew more about the other teams it would be better, this is where Matt and Mike come in.” There have been 18 players attending the first three training sessions, although with other sports winding down, Marc expects that number to increase. “By next week we should have a proper indication of what we’ve got. So far it’s early days but I will be able to tell you more shortly.” Marc says his coaching philosophy is working on what players can’t do. He is likely to line the side up in a traditional 4-4-2

Marchers off to national event The Tasman Blue Beats are off to the leisure marching nationals in Auckland this Friday, where they will compete against 72 other teams from around the country. The Tasman Blue Beats have been together for nearly 12 years and will spend the weekend competing and taking part in training drills.

Marc has a simple goal for the coming season; “do better than last year”. “I like to win every game but under the banner of sportsmanship, a nice clean contest and at the end of the game you shake hands, have a drink.” Richmond Athletic president Stu Reid says while Marc is new to the game in the Nelson region, he will fit in well and be a great asset to the club. He also wanted to wish Matt with the best of luck for his time in the UK.
